remember, ionic is when you have a metal with a nonmetal. covalent is two nonmetal together. most periodic table show that "staircase" on the right side that show where metals and nonmetal are; in any case, I attached a periodic table showing this.

a. KF--> K is metal, F is nonmental, so this is ionic

the rest of the choices are two nonmetals together.

Which of these compounds is ionic? A. KF B. CO C. CO2 D. SO2-example-1
